Hmm...so is this like...Fist of the North Star, only in 1930s China or something? Episode 1 is already subbed, and based on the synopsis this is going to be a martial arts/gang-war drama, and the main guy is HUUUGE!
Edit: So this IS a PREQUEL to Fist of the North Star! I realized it when I watched Episode 1...and THEN looked at the AniDB entry again! Stupid me for not seeing it earlier! Last edited by ShadowClone; 2006-11-26 at 12:51. Reason: Stupid me missed the info in AniDB! |

Kenshiro 2 is Ryuken (Kenshiro's master)'s brother. There is no blood relationship between them. Just that Ryuken wanted to give his brother's name to his youngest "son".
Anyway I've just seen the Shinkyu densetsu Hokuto no Ken : Raoh den movie and it was great. Any Hokuto no Ken fan must see it Take a look at this amv : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxLZwd_ChZU |

well, i wouldn't quite count out "no blood relation"
The Hokuto moves in mysterious ways. anyone who has read the original hokuto no ken manga should still remember the weird shit they gave us in "shura no kuni" so lets clarify: chronologically 1) Kenshiro in Souten no Ken is the "big brother/master" of Ryuken(who is called Ramon as a kid) 2) Ryuken is the "father/master" of Kenshiro in Hokuto no Ken 3) Kenshiro stars in his post apocalyptic saga as saviour in Hokuto no Ken 4) Then its revealed that all blood is tied together in Hokuto no Ken 2 |

Ok, not to step on any toes here (hehe...seems in bad taste if you watch the first episode of this series), but WTF?! Putting a finger in someone's brain causing their head to explode, weird crippled dudes, wimpy leaders of nations, the smelling of sweat....what is with this series?! Its all....f**king weird, even by anime standards.
And wtf is a Toio? |

Several different mangakas drew Hnk(or Souten no Ken) characters as tributes to this anime <3
(Comic Bunch special edition, street date December 8th) http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/beatarai/42850369.html The colored pics in the middle of the page, from left to right, Akimoto (kochikame) Araki (Jojo) Morita Masanori (Rookies) Does anybody have bigger, clearer scans, please? ^ ^; Oh yeah and I was enthralled by the first episode, how Kenshiro switches from his cheerful joking mood to uber seriousness! is especially awesome.
